[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The staff can put the terminals into the storage hopper. At this time, the upper surface of the turntable fits with the discharge port of the storage hopper. At this time, the staff does not need to place the terminals on the conveyor belt for transportation many times. The turntable can initially receive the terminals, so that the subsequent loading operation can be carried out autonomously. Start the motor, and the motor can drive the turntable to rotate. Since the upper surface of the turntable fits the position of the discharge port of the storage hopper, the terminals inside the storage hopper will fall into the placement slots provided on the turntable. When the placement slots rotate, the terminals will be driven to rotate on the upper surface of the fixed disk synchronously. When the terminals rotate to the side of the discharge slots provided on the fixed disk, the fixed disk will not receive the terminals, and the terminals will fall onto the conveyor belt in turn for transportation. The position where the terminals fall onto the conveyor belt can be further limited by the discharge slots, thereby improving the stability of subsequent terminal transportation. When the conveyor belt is conveying, it will synchronously drive the adjustment plate to rotate. When the adjustment plate moves to the upper side of the auxiliary plate, the auxiliary plate will resist the adjustment plate. At the same time, the first magnetic block arranged at the center of the end side of the adjustment plate will adsorb the second magnetic block. At this time, the second magnetic block will synchronously drive the moving plate to move inside the adjustment groove under the drive of the magnetic force. When the moving plate is moving, it will synchronously drive the push rod to resist the tilting block through the moving rod, so that the tilting block moves inside the movable groove. The tilting block drives the limit block to move through the auxiliary rod, and the limit block limits the side of the conveyor belt to reduce the possibility of the terminal falling off during transportation. When the push rod moves downward, the end side of the push rod does not resist the tilting block. At this time, the tilting block resets under the driving force of the second spring. The second spring and the push rod cooperate with each other to realize the reciprocating movement of the tilting block, and further make the limit block reciprocate to squeeze and limit the conveyed terminal, thereby improving the stability of terminal conveying; When the adjustment plate is transported to the lower side of the auxiliary plate, the auxiliary plate does not resist the adjustment plate. At this time, the adjustment plate can pop up upward driven by the elastic force of the first spring. When the adjustment plate moves, it synchronously drives the rubber plate to move inside the built-in groove. When the rubber plate moves, it will contact the rubber strip on the side, causing the rubber strip to undergo elastic deformation. When the rubber strip is not reset without force, the rubber strip will drive the conveyor belt to shake slightly. The shaking of the conveyor belt can be used to preliminarily clean the dust attached to the conveyor belt. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The turntable 4 can be used to preliminarily receive the terminals, so as to independently carry out subsequent loading operations. The motor 5 is started, and the turntable 4 can be driven by the motor 5 to rotate.

When the push rod 21 moves downward, the end side of the push rod 21 does not resist the tilting block 25. At this time, the tilting block 25 is reset under the driving of the elastic force of the second spring 22.
